One would be cafe milano in georgetown - decent italian food but it's a must to eat there for the people watching. from hollywood stars in town to testify on the hill or shoot some scenes for an upcoming film to bill clinton who has been eating there since he was president!

Right there with elliot on Milano - it's subpar at best: surly service, below average food, lame wanna-be NYC scene.That said, Citronelle, Cafe Atlantico (esp. Minibar), BLT Steak, and Central are all very good choices. I have only been to Blue Duck once and, while solid, was not thrilling by any stretch. While I have not yet been to Maestro or Rest. Eve - I have heard/read fantastic things.
